A few days spent near Camarthen has inspired a week of Welsh posts looking at women who have contributed to the history and culture of south and west Wales, starting with Lady Margaret Rhondda (1883-1958) (seen here in a 1931 portrait by Alice Mary Burton) who used her money, position, and influence to campaign for women's rights and social reform. In 1920 she founded Time and Tide,and was an important early supporter of Winifred Holtby who became a director of the feminist weekly.
